Replacing the LM733 didn't change anything. There's still some weird noisy output on TP5. I have no idea what could cause this. Any...

Good quality flux and braid make all the difference. Cheap braid is mostly useless on anything but single sided boards. For the bent...

Yes, they work with anything 286 and newer that puts out POST codes. I had one in a recent Asus mainboard (6th gen Intel) because I was...

Are these those Honeywell SD series switches? I was about to ask if you're going to gut a keyboard I'd be interested in some spares...

My 8050's logic worked out of the box. I only reformed the big capacitors before turning it on. The drives are another cup of coffee, I...
